great drive by Dixon , but it was a shame to see the rain come and spoil what could have been an awesome finish , Dixon was right up there and the two penskes with Hornish coming hard (boy that guy has some speed and great car control)

I didnt mind the short track either it offers something different and certainly helped the Chevy powered cars but it just would have been great to see the last 50 laps or so runs its course.

oh well not meant to be I guess

[gomick]

another great drive by scott dixon , look out mr kanaan - impressed with sam hornish, the more i see him race, the more i respect the fact that he has won the last 2 championships.....

[climb]

didn't see the race, so one question in my mind: why such a difference between the two Ganassi drivers?
Dixon dominated, Scheckter mid-package... anyone can give some explanation?

[gomick]

scheckter got hit in the pits while top 5 by felipe giaffone - lost a lap or 2.....

[climb]

Thanks Gomick; a performace gap remains about quals.

[marcus]

yep and then he spun on a restart and was hit by Al Jnr who had nowhere to go , I dont think it did alot of damage but srely didnt help the handling of his car.
